i have only a few semesters of schooling, no degree, but im in a position where a bachelors is recommended
hell the wife is in a position where a degree is a requirement, but because shes smart, worked her way up, and learned things on the job, she got promotions despite not going to school
if people wanna work at mcdonalds, thats fine. should they be making more than 7.25 (or whatever minimum wage is) yeah, a couple bucks more. but once the pay gets up there, job skills are required and thats something they wont have if they are content and settle with working for minimum wage
I agree with all of this, but it has nothing to do with the debate about minimum wage.
The fact is that we are going to have a certain portion of the population working for minimum wager. It doesn't matter if they are just starting out and on their way up or if they happen to be among the bottom 10% in IQ or have some other physical handicap that keeps them from getting any better. They all should still be entitled to a living wage.
